ISVR2024 Engineering Applications

Knowledge and understanding
Expand core knowledge by independent research and searching of material. Apply understanding to actual problems.

Cognitive (thinking) skills
Take existing knowledge and programme content and apply to realistic engineering problems to find potential solutions within specific constraints.

Key transferable skills
Numerical/analytical modelling.
Report writing and presentation.

Pre-requisites and / or co-requisites

None

To apply the knowledge in the four main core areas of acoustics, fluids, vibration and systems (signal processing) to problem based learning individual and group activities.

Reinforce the key core disciplines.
Apply knowledge to modelling and predictions.
Report findings.
Deepen the understanding and interpretation in the core areas.

Not specifically identifiable. Typically DSP programming and core vibration/acoustics/fluid dynamics principles involved.

Study time allocation

Contact hours: 1 h/week (average)
Private study hours: Group/individual 3 h/week (max)
Total study time: NaN hours

Teaching and learning methods

Group meetings and peer feedback/comment in addition to academic supervisors' comments/direction. Each core area task will last typically six weeks and take place sequentially in the order Acoustics, DSP, Vibration and Fluids.

Group meetings, presentations, discussion and analysis.
